Verdict
The clearest difference is rating: SC at 4.0 against Epson DocumentScan's 1.8. SC also leads on iOS requirement (11.0 vs 15.0). Epson DocumentScan's advantage is ratings volume (121 vs 4) and update cadence (every 3 months vs every 7 months). On price, ads, in-app purchases and monetization model there is nothing between them.
